The past couple days I've been resting and not moving around too much because of my pancreatitis. I haven't been eating as much and I'm bored as hell. So yesterday Mom and Dad rented a movie and watched it with me. I would recommend it to everyone! The movie is call MINE.

What's it about?

Real simple, it's about my fellow canines in New Orleans during the Katrina evacuation. Many, many families had to leave their dogs to evacuate the city. Where the humans were going, dogs were not allowed. They were not part of the evacuation plan. So the families left them at home, vowing to return and get them.

Well the problem is, the families were not allowed to return to the city until weeks and possibly months later. Many dogs had fled the house during the hurricane, hid in small spaces or even got trapped. Dog rescue volunteers took many of these dogs to shelters near by so owner could claim them later. But the shelters got packed. In one shelter, there were 3000 dogs. They had to be shipped to other shelters in a different state.

The Dilemma

When the citizens of New Orleans were finally able to return to a city that was destroyed by the hurricane, all they wanted was their furry companion back. It didn't matter if their house was ruined, they just needed their friend to get thru the tough times but how were they going to do that? How were they going to find their pet? Some dogs had already been released to new homes where they had bonded to a new family. It became a custody battle between original owner and new owner.

Conclusion

I give it two paws way up and recommend it to all pet lovers! It will really make you stop and think, "...what if that was me?"
